these worked very well for my 8 day trip at the Ridge for YT but they do bend after couple fish so you have to bend it back. They swim much better then Tady and little heavier.
Dear Mark, Great job! I love listening to your real life stories. It's wonderful that you're an honest guy, because I would buy the Brooklyn bridge from you. (:
Ah, shucks & thanks Jerald. Okay, so I don't have a bridge for you, but I do have this little darg... My wife has this little dog that needs a good home... Can I make you a deal on the delightful little critter and toss him in with some lures? Been trying to pawn off that thing since she got him... Just kidding, I think I'm stuck with a package deal. Wife's a keeper, it's just the dog that's gotta go...
This was a great video. I've been using a 7ft Okuma 3-pc Nomad Xpress (30-60 lb line rating) and a Penn Fathom II 15 reel (spooled with 50 lb braid) for surface irons on party boats. I get about 50 - 60 yards with a 2 oz. Tady, but those heavier ones you showcased look worth a try.
Not like our standard iron. These look to have been made with an internal "frame" with weight, then finished with the overlay of probably a decal of the fish pattern, then another coating perhaps 1/8th inch plastic/vinyl type material surrounding the body of the lure. So, a bit more like a hard plug from Nomad or Rapala with a different material over the jig itself. Sorry if my description isn't great, have not cut one open and taken it apart...but I will no doubt do some dissecting to satisfy curiosity...after buying and fishing the jig. I need to see how she swims, by the looks of design it should have a good wobble on the retrieve. New stuff, have not had chance to abuse the product yet...but I will!
@@CharkBaitUSA I fished a CB charter years ago. It was your son's first LR trip on the RR-3. I was one of the guys on your video who lost bluefin to the killer whales.
@@tommytar123 That was quite an experience to witness on the trip. And, that orca moved on to scarf 60# tuna from another boat after it ate it's fill off our boat. Amazing to see that thing come up and inhale the tuna. What a memory!
I got one of the shell hooks as gift by a friend also. I’ll share the picture tomorrow with you.
Look like nice pieces. The Australian boys know what they're doing.
Thanks for the lure update!! great vid!!

What color worked best for you? Thank you.

Roger that, same feeling here. Can't wait to toss 'em.
Good stuff
The more tooth mark the better the bite. The best iron have little paint left.
Great video. Do you know if these are machined or poured?

Thanks, just an underemployed hack who likes to fish and who's been able to avoid a regular day job for about 20 years!!!
